Dear Commissioners of Jefferson County:
We appreciate you again considering amending the Jefferson County Code to
prohibit recreational marijuana facilities in all Rural Residential zones of Jefferson
County.
Over these past nearly four years, we feel you have listened to us. Even when
you may not have always sympathized with our position, you gave us respect,
courtesy, and your precious time. We feel you cared.
You now have not only the Planning Commission’s recommendation, but also the
DCD staff report, both supporting this prohibition. The DCD report addresses the
learning curve the County has experienced with marijuana production and
processing facilities since the County lifted the moratorium on June 8, 2015 and
enacted Ordinance #04-0608-15. Much has been gleaned in these five plus years
about the negative impacts of these facilities and where their location can be the
least detrimental. The fact that the report recommends not only prohibiting
these facilities in all Rural Residential zones, but also on Forest Resource lands,
reflects that the DCD has seriously studied this issue. That may be a wise
recommendation, as the County has many very suitable locations for marijuana
operators in zones designated Agricultural, Rural Industrial, and Urban Industrial.
The idea of protecting both our forests and the places where we live is a good
one.
1
There are many Jefferson County residents who have previously expressed their
hope the County would change the law to prohibit marijuana facilities in all Rural
Residential zones. We ask you to take note of the following voices of opposition
to the law as it presently stands:
1. The second Austin Smith administrative hearing (proposed facility on
Marrowstone), was attended by over 150 residents.
2. A petition signed by over 325 residents was presented to you.
3. Scores of residents attended the Williamson hearing (proposed facility at
Coyle).
4. You have received a substantial number of letters and e-mails
5. You have tolerated many of us presenting to you at public hearings.
From our count over the years, only two or three residents have ever expressed
any support for the law as it presently stands.
We thank you for not only listening to us but also hearing us. We truly
appreciate your service.

RE: MLA 20 -00102 Port Hadlock UGA Sewer Facility Plan Update (Draft)Permits
The following comments are submitted on behalf of the North Olympic Group of the Sierra Club, whose member
base covers Jefferson and Clallam Counties. The National Sierra Club has developed policies and
recommendations about reuse of processed sewage sludge and effluent. 1
Promoting growth brings multiple problems. Escalation of the population eventually requires more services. These
drive up costs for the municipality and residents, including increased property taxes, often resulting in forcing low-
and moderate-income residents to move. A town’s population increase also elevates the amount of solid and
sewage wastes and increases the area's climate change. Growth benefits only some and for the short-run. It’s a
no-win situation unless population is controlled. A recent Time Magazine article summed this up well: Since World
War II, the pursuit of economic growth has driven politics. In democracies, citizens look at their bank accounts as a
proxy for quality of life, rewarding politicians in boom times and voting them out when times get tough. In
authoritarian countries, slow economies have doomed regimes. Political consultant James Carville, who advised
President Bill Clinton, put the dynamic simply, before the 1992 election: “It’s the economy, stupid.” People will
undoubtedly continue to prioritize their own bottom line—thinking about jobs, investments and retirement. But as the
effects of climate change increasingly shape economic outcomes, we may soon be saying, “It’s the climate,
stupid.” 2
The focus herein is the Port Hadlock UGA Sewer Facility Plan. It is important to clarify for you particular history and
language.
Passage of the Clean Water Act (1972) and the Ocean Dumping Ban Act (1988) banned the disposal of sewage in
to surface water bodies. The nation heavily invested in “wastewater treatment plants” at a time when sewage
contents where not well known. The USEPA and its public relation firm renamed sewage sludge/solids
“biosolids.” The ruse was that nine of the heavy metals could have “beneficial use,” along with the nitrates and
phosphorus. The USEPA was to analyze, annually, additional chemicals and advise municipalities and the
public. EPA has not done this; not once in over 20 years, leaving you with the simple “beneficial use” concept.
However, in 2009, the USEPA published its survey results of 74 processing plants in 35 states that daily treated
more than one million gallons of waste. It concluded that all sewage sludge (post processing) contains hazardous
and toxic materials. 3
Your County documents, relevant to MLA 20-00102, give the impression that Class A is very superior to Class
B. We want to be sure that you understand some differences between the two classes. Briefly, there is little
1
difference between A and B. Tertiary (Class A) processing does a better job of minimizing pathogens and water-
soluble pharmaceuticals than secondary (Class B) processing. However, a secondary processing facility has
government oversight and reporting stages during the length of its permit. Tertiary facilities have no oversight once
given a permit. The final tertiary waste product can be nearly as toxic as secondary. 4 For example, the “forever
chemicals,” PFAS/PFOS are in both class residuals. Micro and ultra-fine-plasticparticles are in both class
residuals. Dioxins remain. Heart and stroke medications may remain, as may PAHs, PCBs, flame retardants,
etc. With potentially 80,000 chemicals and a lengthy pathogen list, once the effluent passes through your chosen
membrane system, what will be analyzed before it empties into any water system or is land applied? If analysis is
planned, what can you afford? Remember, individual levels of particular chemicals and pathogens, per sewage
load, will fluctuate somewhat.
One primary issue with the waste is this. The cleaner the effluent the more toxic the solids, because the toxins have
to go somewhere. Nevertheless, both the effluent and the solids are highly toxic post processing. You may have
noticed I use the word “process” and not "treatment.” That is because the waste, with potentially 80,000 chemicals
and a list of pathogens cannot be treated. Most of what is in the waste is unknown. For instance, there is synergy
between chemicals and the new chemicals would not be known. Some chemicals dissolve into their elements,
which can be more toxic than the chemical itself. What is known, as shown in the 2009 USEPA report, as well as in
so many university and government studies, is that the processed residuals are carcinogen, mutagenic, endocrine
disruptive, and more.
This is all to say that the system you plan to build will not produce safe byproducts — solids or effluent. The USEPA
Office of Inspector General has more than once advised EPA to instruct states to start looking at alternative
methods of handling the post-processed solids. 5 Again, EPA has not done this, although it and Ecology may
approve an alternative technology if a municipality prefers one.
In sum, a little bit cleaner is not clean. Understand that WWTP processing is not treatment and be clear what you
will be injecting into your local water systems or land applying, and that the consequences that include exposing
humans and wildlife to significant poisons.

In 2003, the WA State Department of Ecology conducted a PPCP study at this tertiary WWTP. Samples were
taken from effluent, surface water, and groundwater and analyzed for 24 chemicals. 17 PPCPs were detected in
the effluent, 4 in surface water, and 3 in groundwater.
